I’ve only just been informed that if the Ballina koala habitat is destroyed that will also mean losing Lismore koalas. So when we’re talking about let’s save Ballina koalas that should really say, let’s save Ballina and Lismore’s koalas. They’re so connected we can’t let one group be lost without it having a huge effect on the whole population.
I know there’s so many issues and so little time but I now feel inspired to get myself along to the meeting next Wednesday, January 28, 6:30pm at the Ballina RSL.

Save the hysteria – lismores koalas are derived from the Tucki Tucki population, plus there are other discreet populations through lismore LGA ( rosebank, Dunoon, towards casino). It’s a complex issue, but try looking at a map; the highway at BALLINA is crap, but blanket statements like yours are v. misleading.
